How about coming up with the single most implausible and lurid allegation in the already incredibly tawdry Brett Kavanaugh confirmation battle? That's a challenge that suits Avenatti perfectly.
The past few days, Kavanaugh's opponents haven't been able to decide whether he's guilty of teenage drinking and occasionally loutish behavior or guilty of crimes for which he deserves jail time.
His client, Julie Swetnick, says she routinely attended parties with Kavanaugh and his friend Mark Judge in 1981-82.
She claims to have witnessed Kavanaugh and Judge drugging girls or getting them drunk "So they could then be 'gang raped' in a side room or bedroom by a 'train' of numerous boys." According to Swetnick, she has "a firm recollection of seeing boys lined up outside rooms at these parties waiting for their 'turn' with a girl inside the room."
Notably, there are no witnesses to these terrible crimes, even though reporters have been combing through every person who knew Kavanaugh when he was in high school or college.
Opponents of Kavanaugh don't need plausibility.
They just need a drive to destroy Kavanaugh's reputation by any means possible.
